Baton Rouge, La., Sept. 26,
The following statement of C.,C. 1
Weber, campaign manager for
L. L Moogan, candidate for Con- .
gress from the Sixth District, t
Rwa given out by him this morn- I

"The campaign of bluster and t
misrepresentation was being in

acquainted with all the details. ft
In this matter of the joint de- ti
bates between Mr. Morgan and I
Mr. laiborne, I want to say s4
that Morgan's manager did not tI
balk at san ofer made by Mr. ac
Claiborne's manager. When I p
rst saw Mr. Lecoq on last Sun- I
day.morning, I stated to him or
thatiI was ready and willing to N
meet him at any time and place an
to 'trage the details for these w,
twoidebates. an
I"t the same time I stated to th
"him that in view of the fact that If
Mr. Claiborne came from the tel
western sideof the district and in
Mr. Morgan from the eastern, I thi
consider it wise and proper that an
he, as'the representative of the ph
western candidate, ought to se- im
r let the place on the west side the
of the river and I would name
the place on the east side of the
rivdri At that time Mr. Lecoq
told me that he would consider by

I deny and it is Mr. Morgan's re- th

a balk or hitch in this matter it is 1DI

"It might be well for them to

to Save the Peach Trees.
the -
eir The tirst symptons of scale
in- infectation, on plum as well as
be peach, is the dying of the limbs
h. usually at the tips of the small
r. ones first, the larger branches
Sgt surviving longer. The tree has
to a grayish, scurfy appearance,
in and if the fingernail or knife
ill blade be rubbed over the surface
a* of a badly infested limb, the
scale will be turned over and ihe
it round bodies of the yellow in
he sects will be visible.
)n The egg hatches within' the
,r. body of. the mother scale and the
r- young are very active when first
ie born. They crawi r&n .under
ye the old scale and for the first few
r. hours are very busy ftiding a
m location where the beak can be
i. inserted. When a suitable loca
tion is found, usually not more
than two inches from'the mother
scale, the beak is iniserted.'into
the sap and feeding.beg)p.,.The

large as the head of a pin. The
e females lose their legs.eyes and:
n feelers, never moving fromi the'

They multiply very rapidly
' and soon literally cover the tree,
t" sucking the sap to such an ex
8 tent that a tree rarely survives.
After many experiments by
different experiment stations,
the "lime-sulphur-wash" bae
been found most satisfactory for
t thispest. Directions for making
i this are given i& Circular -No. 4
of the Crop Peast Commission,
Baton Rouge La. Briefly, the
directions given are about as fol*
lows: Material-Stone lime 21
lbs: sulpher 18 lbs.; water 50 gal.
Directions-Place a few gallons
of water inm an iron kettle and'
bring to a boil. Mix the sulpher
with water and make a thick I
past while the water is heating.
As soon as the water boils, put
the sulphur paste into the boil.
lng water and stir vigorously.
then put in the rock lime and a
violent boiling will begin. Stir
and add enough water, hot or
cold, to make 50 gallons and ap
ply,
The lime-sulphur.wash should
be applied this fall as soon as the
leaves fall from the trees, and
should be applied again before
the buds come in the spring .if
the orchard is heavily infested.
A suitable sprayer can be bougaht

Peaches do well on these sandy
lands, but such pests as these
must be guarded against. The
market for peaches was grood
luast season, but most of those
put on market were consumed at
once, and very few were canned
Thousands of dollars worth of
canned peaches will be imported
into the State from California
and other Statel, when ~a large
part of these could be put on the
local markets and keep the
monev at home. This work
comes at a time when there is
not much else-to do on the farm, '
and the small farmer who gives
his home orchard attention will /I/
be doubly aid for his time, and
have a better living at home be
